Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

OpenOffice.org Writer crashes when the CapsLock key behaviour of the
Ubuntu keyboard layout options is set on "CapsLock toggles Shift so all
keys are affected" and in OpenOffice, the AutoCorrect option of
correcting wrong use of the cAPS lOCK key is enabled.

Steps to reproduce (I have my settings on Dutch so I'm translating the captions 
as well as I can):
1. Go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Layout options. In the second tab, 
choose Layout options. Open CapsLock key behaviour and choose "CapsLock toggles 
Shift so all keys are affected" and click Close. Click Close.
2. Open OpenOffice.org Writer and make sure that in Tools -> AutoCorrect 
options in the tab Options, [I] is checked for Correct erroneous use of cAPS 
lOCK-key. Click OK.
3. Make sure Caps Lock is disabled. Type a letter, for example 'j'.
4. Enable Caps Lock. Type another letter, for example 'k'. It appears as a 
capital letter.
5. Press Space so that Writer sees it as a word. Writer corrects and crashes.

Workaround:
Disable [I] for Correct erroneous use of cAPS lOCK-key in Tools -> AutoCorrect 
options in the tab Options.
